My favourite part about Hannibal and Alana is that they have no chemistry whatsoever. They’re both attractive and intelligent, but their personalities at the core are so incompatible it’s like oil and water. Hannibal’s good doctor persona especially clashes with her vulnerability. It’s just, so bland against her expressiveness. Things are better in s3, there is clear distaste from her side, and from Hannibal’s side, you can tell what he really thinks of her. His disdain and her power over him make for a more invigorating tension. It’s more intimate than whatever the fuck they were upto in s2.
